Copper(I) iodide films were cast onto glass from solution. The CuI films absorb vapor-phase amine and sulfide molecules, producing a range of photoluminescent emission colors. Spectroscopic data suggest the presence of low energy CuI cluster-centered transitions.

Combination of CuI and tetrahydrothiophene (THT) in MeCN or neat THT produces various phases, depending upon experimental conditions. Green luminescent product (CuI)4(THT)2 (1) consists of Cu4I4 cubane units knit into a 3-D network by μ2-THT ligands. Dull yellow luminescent (CuI)10(THT)7(MeCN) (2) contains {[Cu4I4(THT)](μ2-THT)2(Cu2I2)(μ2-THT)2[Cu4I4(NCMe)]} “rungs” linked into 1-D ladders by pairs of μ2-THT ligands. Two molecular (CuI)4(THT)4 phases were found: orange luminescent 3a and yellow luminescent 3b. Triclinic 3b is the more stable phase at 25 °C, but it undergoes endothermic transformation to monoclinic 3a at 38 °C. Compound 3a transforms to a triclinic phase (3a′) that retains orange emission at …

Aqueous reactions of copper(I) cyanide with 1-phenylpiperazine (PhPip) in the presence of KCN produce network compounds having CuCN:PhPip stoichiometries of 1:1, 3:2, and 4:1 depending on the mixing ratio used. In addition to these phases, hydrothermal synthesis yields a 5:3 network. Crystal structures of these four compounds are reported herein. The (CuCN)(PhPip) network (1) forms sheets consisting of Cu centers that coordinate all PhPip via NH only, and are linked together by μ3-cyano bridges. The (CuCN)3(PhPip)2 network (2) exists as a series of dual-chain ladders. All Cu centers are 3-coordinate and half of the PhPip ligands bridge pairs of chains …
